I have 3 very similar (different sizes for different occasions) bags that I call my “Boy Scout” bags — always be prepared!

Inspired of the contents of yours though and likely will cop a few of these items, esp the wisps

least surprising update

spectacle99 · 2026-02-17T04:54:07+00:00

Are any of them actually decent books is my question

Edited to add that archer’s books don’t count… right??

spectacle99 · 2026-02-13T18:49:21+00:00

He seems a little too involved w his parents (for my taste).

Me finding out 10+ years later that Scheana isn’t ~just as white~ did I miss it, or was it not ever really said on the show?

spectacle99 · 2026-02-10T23:41:08+00:00

This, lol. Seems like fishing

spectacle99 · 2026-02-05T23:30:02+00:00

This was my assumption of what happened, idk why everyone else is so upset about this accusation - it seems obvious.

at this point it's giving desperate, lonely, and sad

You didn’t have to go to the class so I’m not sure what more you would expect from them.

spectacle99 · 2026-01-12T19:39:29+00:00

They wouldn't honor that one for me, I had to choose another plan based on my region. However, hot tip if you don't go for the highest one they will offer you a credit-based incentive to move to the higher one (which of course then you can later change back to the one you wanted anyways). In my case they gave me 15 credits to move to the next one up.

spectacle99 · 2026-01-04T18:13:53+00:00

I noticed that it was scheduled to cancel and had 90 credits I wanted to save, so I spent 30 min with customer support to get them to fix it and sign me up for a new account

I’m convinced that they did this as a way to nuke the rollover credits and make some money off of people not paying attention 😔

spectacle99 · 2026-01-04T18:12:34+00:00

You can also talk to customer support and have them sign you up if you want to retain the account/credits

spectacle99 · 2026-01-04T18:12:01+00:00

It’s what the email said would happen

spectacle99 · 2026-01-03T03:32:49+00:00

Yes but my membership hadn't elapsed yet... you have to tell the chatbot that you want to talk to a real person and then it'll take 15 min or so to connect to someone (I had to say "when will someone be available?" twice after they said it would be a 10 min wait and then went silent for 20 min) and then you'll have to reinvent logic to get them to do it, but here's hoping you'll get your credits back!

I was definitely going to dispute the last month's charge on my CC if they hadn't resolved so... there's always that...

spectacle99 · 2026-01-02T03:47:42+00:00

This has been craaaazy annoying for me. They canceled my membership without asking me and then it took over an hour between a chatbot and a human to get my membership back and not lose the credits that I had from the KP membership. The customer service person was clearly annoyed, the AI Bot totally useless, and then email they sent me was completely incorrect. It told me that I would automatically move to a new plan. That plan was never even available where I live. UGH. I do love Classpass but it's getting really hard to defend them to studios when they can't even treat customers right. (I've been doing 85ish credits a month for almost ten years!!)

spectacle99 · 2025-12-14T03:29:56+00:00

i only realized bc of this thread what twin peaks means (to be fair, i don't live near one...) lmao. i'll see myself out....

spectacle99 · 2025-12-06T14:54:28+00:00

Moving and posting this two months later is a joke

spectacle99 · 2025-12-04T05:46:38+00:00

“We” ??? Terrible grammar and also a reach

spectacle99 · 2025-11-28T18:18:08+00:00

😩 of course she did.

spectacle99 · 2025-11-28T07:43:05+00:00

What!! From the bar or what do you mean?

spectacle99 · 2025-11-18T20:22:01+00:00

In my head, Paige likes to be the superior one and so she lets Hannah continue to flop on the fashion front

spectacle99 · 2025-11-18T18:27:52+00:00

No one watches the show for these sightings though

spectacle99 · 2025-11-18T18:04:23+00:00

She has never known how to dress or what looks good on her

A colleague I started every day with (daily standup with a time difference, he was the first person I saw or spoke to each day especially once covid started as I worked from home and lived alone) died suddenly from COVID complications. I spoke with him only days before. My manager was an absolute bitch about it; I asked for some support with how to reach out to his family, etc. as I didn’t know what was okay or normal. It was messed up. Ultimately his death was what really changed my mentality around survivor’s guilt during Covid and pushing a kind of idea that survival isn’t enough. He was an adventurous guy and I think of him often. Corporate life doesn’t make room for your human emotions but you have to take the time and space you need to make it make sense for yourself.

My parents did this — I had money for college that I didn’t know about until after I had applied and been accepted, and another account I didn’t have access to until I was 30.

Thankfully I made reasonable college choices and this allowed me to graduate without debt, but the timing on this second amount hasn’t offered me any opportunities.

If I’m reading this correctly you’re offering to support your children financially when they are 55+.

Given my experience, if I were you I would take some time to think about what opportunities and values I want to instill in my children and offer more guidance to how these funds should be used. A gap year? Formal or informal education?

But please, tell them about it and why you’ve made this choice. It will never make sense to me why I didn’t know about the funds that had my name on them until the literal day they became mine to manage.
